Do we skip Pom if it rains out today? Monday is day off (presumably no need for our #5). Go directly back to E Rod, Porcello and Sale? Why not? I'd skip every chance I get our #4/#5.
-
Did Chris Sale know that he was going to play with bunch of pussies this year? This team is full of time share players. PLAY, SHOW UP, DON'T PLAY, I'LL SKIP BECAUSE MY PINKIE HURTS, MY SHOULDER IS NOT 100%,,,PLAY FOR WEEK, TAKE NEXT WEEK OFF, .....JESUS. THEY ARE BUNCH OF POODLES.
-
Moon, what do you think of Michael Chavis? He's had recent power surge. Any chance he will push Devers to 1B if Travis doesn't show enough power? Ultimately I'd like to see power hitters in corner positions. Beni and Betts have enough power. Moreland is adequate for now.

Things to ponder..... What if Kelly had progressed and followed many of young St Louis pitchers and had become lights out starter for the Red Sox? What if A Craig had recovered fully from his injury plagued St. Louis season before the trade happened? What if Castillo had followed the similar first year success of Jose Abreau? What if Pablo had continued his limited success from the Giants to the Sox? What if Carson Smith had continued his success from his previous year before the trade? What if Moncada tore up the covers last September and it was Devers that was traded for Sale? What if Thornburg is pitching the way he did last year? What if I was worth millions and dating.........Yep I know, wishful thinking.
-
I also think we need to look at Castillo signing in the context of just a year before, we lost out on Jose Abreau to the White Sox. I believe we were just below what was offered. I got the feeling that we were NOT going to be outbid for Castillo. It just hasn't worked out.
-
Signed Andre Beltran.....he was a perfect fit in Fenway. Hard ass, good defender, always a threat offensively -
Looking at September schedule We conclude by traveling to Cincy for 3, return home for 3 vs Blue Jays and 4 vs Houston. We only play Yankees and Orioles 3 times each, but on the road. We have six games versus the Rays and Blue Jays. We face the Yankees first in September so we may have to depend on others to keep them in check as season winds down. I think this is pretty favorable. Hopefully we'll still be thick of things. AND EVERYONE IS HEALTHY, including Price, Thornburg and Smith.

Wasn't there a fourth player involved in Sale trade. A pitcher.
-
Can we trade for some pitching help RIGHT NOW so we have some depth for 2019? Red Sox blueprint......trade for a pitcher, get him a mandatory Tommy John surgery, place him on a 14 month rehab schedule, add another 3 months for Sox only shoulder strengthening regiment backfiring. And make sure he's under team control for 3 years so we can get one year of production. T it up, son.

$190M isn't what it use to be....... Price $31M on DL..why is he mad at the world? Hanley $22M DH only....Ortiz was a bargain Pablo $17M rehab assignment coming Allen Craig $11M ....don't quit your day job anytime soon. (yeah I know he's not on 40 man roster) R Castillo $11M.....akin to my summer intern getting paid more than me...(how many guys can we have off the 40 man roster?)

no way in hell.

Devers walked twice last night. Will they start to pitch around him in AA? I trust DD to do the right thing. He's on record as saying jump from AA to majors is not unthinkable. I can't believe I'm saying this but maybe Holt will lend stability to the situation while Pablo rehabs.
-
What's the downside of playing Devers? Unless DD is thinking about trading him, I'd say nothing. If he struggles, send him back down. Please spare me of hurting his confidence, etc. If he's that weak mentally, then he'll never make it.
-
Kimbrel last pitched Tuesday and Wednesday. He's going on a three days rest. Desperation? I'm f***ing glad you're not coaching my team. How about playing with sense of urgency FROM TIME TO TIME? We had completely outplayed the Twinkies but were in danger of losing the series to them. It would have been a devastating loss. Blame? How about our big wuss Matt Barnes? Gives up a walk off homer the previous game, comes in and gives up a homer and two walks. My high school baseball coach saved our ace for the second game on a Saturday during a state tournament. Well WTF, the second game never came. We got bombed 11-9 in the morning game. 10 Run outburst may never came had we gotten behind in the 8th. Oh but wait, we'd have fresh Kimbrel, now with FIVE f***ING days of rest going into Milwaukee. As it turned out, we needed strikeouts and we got it. Kimbrell never had to go back out for outs four, five and six.
-
I don't want to trade him. That said, I also am aware that he's a BorASS client. That's a reason enough to be concerned about JBJ and Xander. I'd also like to think that had JBJ been in the lineup, Beni would have made two plays in OF that Young didn't. The line drive right at Young and the fould ball that Young couldn't quite get to. Young obviously had to be in because we need offensive lift right now.

Not long ago, JF decided NOT to use Kimbrel in a four out situation. He said it was too early in the season. (isn't it all about pitch count anyway?) Today he was using Kimbrel to get the last five outs. Kimbrel got the first two outs in the 8th (final outs) and held the lead. Final three outs became irrelevant as Sox put up 10 runs in the 9th. Every game should matter. The game he refused to put Kimbrel in count just as much as this game. Our backs were up against the wall. We had outplayed the Twinkies. I get it. Just wished he was more consistent. Had JF not put in Kimbrel to hold the lead, the 9th inning outburst may not have happened. JF did the right thing. Why can't he be as smart as I?
-
Maybe Hanley won't take three strikes this time....
-
This game must mean more to JF. I recalled earlier he didn't want bring Kimbrel in for 4 outs situation. Hmmmm.
-
Yep, Barnes can suck all on his own. He just looks like a big pussy. I can't stand him.
-
0-2 and walks him...
-
Wow, he can't even follow instructions.
-
He was told to strike out.
-
Was Sale this good last year?
-
lol....only thing missing was tu tu on him.
-
Ok...we bring up a .168 AAA hitter to play 3B for us today. I'm little embarrassed.
